^ CONTAINER.

Application led July 18,

To allo/ 17mm timely concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. ROSE, a

citizen of the United States, and resident of Jersey City, Hudson-County, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Containers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to containers and particularly to a container having, heavy Walls of paper or other fibrous material and metallic closures for the ends of the same.

The objects of the invention are to provide a container having'a heavy inner wall formed by a tube of heavy fibrous materia] and a heavy outer wall formed by'wrapping paper material around the lnner wall; to

provide means for securely fastening the heads or closures to the container; and generally to provide a container -which is` strong and durable and which can be con-` structed in large sizes for use in the packin and transportation of material.

The invention is set forth in detail in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a container involving the invention and illustrating one arrangement for securing the heads to the container;

Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are fragmentary sectional views illustrating various means or combination of means for use in securing the heads to the body of the container; and

Figure 8 is a side view of a portion of a head or closure illustrating one of the forms of fastening means employed.

The body of the container /forming the subject matter of the present invention is made up of two portions, an inner cylindrical wall 10 and an outer cylindrical wall 11. These Walls as illustrated in the drawlng are made quite heavy so as to be strong and durable and capable of withstanding severe usage. In constructing the container a cylindrical tube'having a heavy wall is employed for forming the inner wall 10 of the container. The outer wall 11 is formed by wrapping paper material around the inner wall 10 until the outer wall 11 attainsthe thickness desired and such thickness may of course be varied depending upon the strength of container desired. In lwrapping the paper material to form the outer wall 11 it is of course to be underheads.

stood that glue is applied to the paper so that when Wrapped around'theinner wall 1() the layers of paper will adhere and form theouter wall 11.

The heads or closures 12 for the ends of the, container are secured in position between the inner and outer walls 10 and 11. This is accomplished by providing each head 12 with a flange 13 which lics between the walls forming the body of the container and which surrounds and closely fits the inner wall. It will be understood that the heads 12 are applied to the tube forming the inner wall 10 before the paper material forming the outer wall l1 is wrapped around the inner wall, so that such materiall is also wrapped around the flanges 13 of the The he'ads 12 may be provided with any desired form of opening 12a to which a suitable cover may be applied. e

Various means may be employed for securing the heads or closures 12 to the container constructed as above described. In the form of construction shown in Figure 1 the anges 13 are provided with outwardly extending radial projections 14 which projections-are made of sufficient length to perforate one or more of the layers of paper" material as it is wrapped about the inner wall 10 in the process of forming the outer wall 11. These projections thus serve to securely fasten the heads 12 in position.

In the form of construction illustrated in Figure 2 the flange 13 of the head is provided with a series of inwardly inclined prongs 15 which extend toward the inner end or base of the flange 13. It will be ap-v parent that such inclined projections willl engage and embed themselves in' the outer surface of the inner wall of the container when the head is forced into position on the tube forming the inner wall of the container'.

A further arrangement for securing the ings like that illustrated in Figure 81..

This construction also provides a plurality of means for securing the flange in position.

`lin the form of construction illustrated in Figure 6 the Harige 13 is provided with inwardly inclined prongs 21 like those illustrated in Figure 2 andalso with a series of openings 22 similar to those illustrated in Figure 8. Y

Figure 7 illustrates an arrangement in which all three forms of fastening means heretofore referred to are employed. ln this arrangement the vBange 13 is provided with -outwardly projecting radial prongs 23,y inwardly projecting inclined prongs 24 and openings 25 so that when this form of dange is employed a very secure means is provided for attaching'the head'to the body of' the container.

lt will be observed that the heads 12 in each form of the-device illustrated is provided with an outwardly extending annular riphery dange 26 which lies beyond the outer peof the inner wall 10 of the oontainer. llt will be understood that this dange 26 is made of suilicient width4 to overlie the ends of the outer wall 1l so that this flange constitutes means by which` the ends of the built up wall is protected. The Width of the' dange 26 may oli course be varied depending upon the` thickness of the outer vwall 11..

lln wrappin the outer wal 11, it may be found desirable in some cases to use thin paper for the inner layers, so that the outwardly projecting prongs on the anges 13 may easily perforato the same and to use heavier paper material for the outer layers.

lt; will be. apparent 'that the foregoing provides a construction in 'which the wallsoit the container ma be made strong and durable and of practically any thicmiessde` sired so that the construction of very large containers with heav walls is rendered possible. llt also provi es means by which the heads are permanently and securely locked in position on the container and which serve to completely protect the ends of the container.

Having thus described my invention what prongs 19 together with openthe paper material to form l il ,added t ll claim as new and desire .to securev by illetters Patent is:
